Maybe it's because they're crap at sewing on buttons?
but seriously, interesting point Mega. I've had loads of Schott gear, a couple of leathers and a couple of N3B's (which are excellent for the money) and a few other bits and bobs. All good heavy duty stuff.
I know how much love & care goes into them but 'd love to compare a Buzz or Toys N3B and a Schott side by side just to see… -
To be fair, I'm not sure what the quality of modern Schott leathers and peacoats/ military coats is like, but their old stuff is top class. I would bet that there is a fare gulf in quality (and price) between their Made In The USA jackets, and their Made In China jackets, but they're not on their own there.
It would be very interesting to compare some of their Military jackets to their Japanese counterparts (I would also like to compare an Alpha N3B to a Buzz version). The stock picture above is of the 602 Perfecto, same model as mine, but now made exclusively for the Japanese market at a price of over $700.

Yep, it cost me an arm and a leg, but I sent details to Jason Schott and he gave me some details on it. He said that it was issued to either the NYPD or the Baltimore PD, (but most likely NY), and could be dated due to the style of zipper.
It's an item of clothing that makes me look forward to colder weather

Ha ha, no. That was taken in New York last December.

try to pay for the latest shipment of IH and literally got asked a million questions over half an hour. Apparently when a Chinese guy buys Japanese Yen using New Zealand Dollars then transfer it to Ireland while the benefactor is in London [G] and the good are coming directly from Japan = Money Laundering
G knows the first half of the story here is the second. I kid you not I am now getting Audited by Inland Revenue….. the things we go though for IH Jeans
